Blepharitis

An inflammation of the eyelids causing crusty, red eyelid margins leading to irritated and itchy eyes and the formation of dandruff-like scales on the eyelashes and crusting around the eyes on awakening.

Lazy Eye (Amblyopia)

A condition that develops before the age of 6 where the central vision in one eye does not develop properly due to any eye health problem causing a blurry vision in that eye

LASIK

LASIK is a type of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism as an alternative to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses for many patients.

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a very common vision condition that begins in the early to mid-40s where the lens inside the eye loses its flexibility over the years making it difficult to focus on close objects while reading.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a very common vision condition that causes blurred vision due to improper focusing of the light on the retina, the light sensitive surface at the back of the eye.

Farsightedness

Farsightedness, or hyperopia, is a vision condition in which distant objects appear to be clear but objects up-close seem blurry due to improper focusing of the light entering the eye.

Nearsightedness

Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a very common vision condition in which the patient is able to see the close objects clearly but objects farther away appear blurred.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry Eye Syndrome is the most common of all eye disorders affecting approximately 20% of the population.

Macular Degeneration

The leading cause of blindness in Americans age 65 or older due to the degeneration of the macula, which is the central part of the retina responsible for the clear, sharp central vision needed to read or drive.

Flashes and Floaters

Small cloudy particles of various shapes and sizes swimming in the jelly fluid inside the eye called the vitreous

Glaucoma

The second leading cause of blindness in America. It is usually associated with a buildup of internal eye pressure, which can damage the eye’s optic nerve that transmits visual information to the brain leading to a loss in side or peripheral vision, and if not treated could then lead to blindness.

Diabetic Retinopathy

The second leading cause of blindness in America. It is usually associated with a buildup of internal eye pressure, which can damage the eye’s optic nerve that transmits visual information to the brain leading to a loss in side or peripheral vision, and if not treated could then lead to blindness.

Cataracts

Cataract is a cloudy or opaque area in the normally clear lens of the eye that distorts the light entering the eye so it can no longer focus properly causing blurred vision.

Vision Conditions

Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism and Presbyopia are common vision conditions that cause blurred vision and can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, Lasik surgery, or lens implants to replace the lenses in the eyes.

Children’s Vision

School-Age Vision

The child’s ability to see clearly is very critical and has a great influence on school performance since most of the learning activities depend on visual abilities and visual processing.

Pre-school Vision

Preschoolers depend on their vision to learn more about the surrounding environment and learn tasks to prepare them for school.

Infant Vision

Infants need to learn how to use their eyes together and focus accurately in order to understand the world around them and interact with it appropriately.
